CHRIS Turner is putting his faith in the Stockport County youngsters who will take on Bradford tomorrow.

The boss has shown he is not scared of putting teenagers into his side - if they are good enough.

But he admitted that it could be a testing time for the majority of his inexperienced side.

"We have a lot of potential at this club, but the youngsters are learning the hard way in the first team," said Turner.

"Against Huddersfield last Saturday the average age of our side was just 20, but I've got confidence in them.

"Ideally, you would like to introduce young players into a side that wasn't losing the majority of its games.

"Our position in the league is a situation not of their making, but they are all doing their best."

Defender Michael Raynes (pictured), midfielder Damien Allen and striker Adam le Fondre have all recently been given their chances, such is Turner's desire to build a team based evenly on youth and experience.

"I know we have to get more experience in the side as well, but until then, hopefully, the younger players will thrive on their chance," added Turner.

Bradford will provide more tough opposition for the youngsters tomorrow, according to Turner, who said: "They started the season in administration and it seems to have increased the camaraderie in their side.

"It looks as though they might miss out on a play-off spot and their season may fizzle out. But Colin Todd has done a magnificent job there, and maybe their supporters' aspirations are a little too high considering what they've been through."

Midfielder Keith Briggs, who came off at half-time in last Saturday's 5-3 defeat at Huddersfield, has recovered from his tight hamstring and should play.

But Mark Robertson is still suffering from a thigh problem and may not return until next Saturday's home game against Brentford.

There will be two new faces among the County squad tomorrow.

Striker Marvin Robinson, who has joined from Walsall until the end of the season, will replace the departed Warren Feeney.

And big French centre-back Ludovik Dje is set to come in for Joe Dolan, who has switched his loan to Brighton.

"I'm trying to get clearance for Dje, who has been with us for three weeks," added Turner.
